Unikie’s annual report for 2025 is released and available below.
Highlights from CEO’s review:
“In 2025, Unikie celebrated its 10th anniversary. Since 2015, Unikie has been committed to creating significant customer value and enabling customer success by providing world-class embedded software skills and product digitalization across its focus industries: automotive, intelligent devices & networks, defense and industrial automation. In 2025, we continued executing our strategy in a highly dynamic and challenging market environment, while simultaneously investing in future growth areas such as physical AI and building a new marshalling solution business entity.
International business is a key pillar of our strategy. Over the past year, we further strengthened our presence in key markets, particularly in the United States. International business accounted for over 60% of our revenue in 2025. Key highlights of international business included the expansion of the automotive business by signing a new major customer with a strong delivery organization of approximately 100 new experts. We also acquired a few new leading global ICT brands as our customers for intelligent devices segment. These achievements reinforced our position as a trusted partner capable of delivering complex, business-critical products and solutions.
Unikie continued its strategic investments in next-generation technologies and AI capabilities. We established a new AI laboratory with a focus on physical AI and continued expanding our autonomous drone software stack with AI capabilities and AI deployment in large customer projects. Unikie also made substantial progress in building AI-related assets, including GPU optimization capabilities, AI Hub Data platform and several autonomous assets for drones and vehicles. We also invested in the development of embedded AI in software engineering processes. This work lays the foundation for our long-term differentiation as a leading global Physical AI company with the focus on embedded software.
In the defence business area, we launched the UniScanner concept – the software-defined radio passively detecting RF signals to protect critical infrastructure, and expanded Unikie’s drone offering.
Building an independent solution business is a core part of Unikie’s strategy. In 2025, we continued major technology investments in Unikie’s marshalling business. Unikie Marshalling Solution proved its power with successful validations in true customer industrial environments, such as the logistics area in Volkswagen Group’s Automotive seaport in Emden and the fully automated log transport solution for Mantsinen Group in Rauma sawmill. We also built a new international test center in Finland to enable real-time marshalling system testing for vehicles from various manufacturers. In addition, several new IPRs were filed protecting the R&D innovations. Over the past year, Unikie also signed a few important partnerships, such as Deutsche Telekom, to jointly deliver commercial marshalling systems. These milestones represent important steps towards scalable product business and commercial partnerships with leading ecosystem players.
“Customer First” and world-class customer experience are core values at Unikie. In 2025, customer feedback remained at an excellent level, with Net Promoter Score (NPS) at 63 and overall satisfaction at 4.5 out of 5, clearly above industry benchmarks. Customers valued our responsiveness, ease of doing business and high level of expertise.
I would like to thank all our customers and partners for their trust and collaboration during the year. Most importantly, I want to thank all Unikiens for their resilience, commitment and ability to adapt in a year that required both flexibility and determination.
Together, we have built a strong company—well positioned to capture future growth opportunities and continue shaping the next wave of Physical AI and intelligent industry solutions.”
